Hostels in Cotopaxi

"Beautiful lodge near Cotopaxi. We loved our small wood fireplace in the room. A young gentleman would come to set up the fire everyday. The unplanned highlight of the stay was actually a “stray“ dog. According to the receptionist, the dog does not belong to the lodge but shows up on the lodge property frequently. The dog was there when we checked in. She (we think it’s a girl) somehow indicated to us to follow her. We had no activity planned, so we walked with her. For one hour, the dog led our mini hike and she sure knew the way well in that area. She was so intelligent, peaceful yet playful. It was an amazing experience. Our day and that walk would’ve been boring if the dog weren’t there. My partner was not a fan of dog but still fell deeply in love with her. Seemed other guests, especially solo ones, liked her company too. Staff was all very kind and helpful. Horseriding in the national park was very beautiful, but previous riding experience highly recommended. Lunch menu was a bit too simple. Real empanadas would be a good idea to add on the menu. Like mentioned above, there aren’t much to do in the lodge, especially when the weather was bad. Extra activity would be nice: such as walk with the lodge dog :)"
