We visited this lodge during 3 days prior to our trip to the Galapagos. A wonderful setting in gorgeous sites and excellent catering as well as service from the personnel. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Cruz himself but had a very nice and knowledgable person (only speaking Spanish though) at Tendayapa and a young man to... More

This was our third trip to the Eco-lodge at St Jorge the Quito. This is the base for the Magic Birding Circuit: http://www.hostsanjorge.com which is a fully guided birding tour. We are experienced birders and we just had to enjoy the birds one more time. The lodge at Quito is and old monastery which has been fully refurbished and is... More

Just reflecting back on last year's wonderful birding experience in Ecuador at the San Jorge lodges, coordinated through Connecticut Audubon. Jorge's knowledge and skills in birding were incredible as well as our other guide, Nolberto. The staff was extremely warm and welcoming, especially Jose, and made us feel at ease given our language barrier. I hope to return to Ecuador... More

I’m not a hiker. Or a birder. I am an avoider of tours and not exactly in peak physical condition. I’m into insect avoidance. My travel partner is an overly particular, and often unwilling, participant in my travel schemes. How is it possible that these eco-lodges would provide the perfect vacation for us? The magic that makes the lodge circuit... More

I spent two weeks in Ecuador visiting all four of the San-Jorge reserves and staying at the three Eco-lodges - Quito, Tandayapa and Milpe. I am not a fanaticall birder but I saw 300 species of bird and had a wonderful holiday. The staff were always friendly and helpful, the four course meals beautifully presented and tasty and the accomodation... More

We spent two glorious weeks in Ecuador doing the circuit from San Jorge Eco-Lodge in Quito, Tandayapa Hummingbird Sanctuary, Milpe Eco Lodge, and Sani Lodge in the Amazon. Fabulous & healthy four-course meals in Quito were served by the charming Vicente and Jaibir, and in Tandayapa, Dona Pilar cooked like a domestic goddess. There was a lovely dining room in... More

My husband and I are serious (but not fanatic) birders on our eighth trip to Ecuador. We spent a week birding in eastern Ecuador before spending the last two nights at San Jorge in Quito. The hacienda is a charming old home laden with exquisitely carved wooden furniture and doors, lovely wrought iron rails and window guards, and rooms conveying... More

We been there for 3 days, The service is horroble, accomodation is below 2 star and the owner is trying to sell you the moon at night and sun at daytime, never ever think about this place if you want real vacation in Ecuador More

Everything about the four days we spent at the San Jorge Eco-Lodges was enjoyable. The rooms were sparkling clean, the four course lunches and dinners superb and full of local dishes. The hiking was glorious, especially the waterfall circuit at Milpe. We've been all over the world, and this hike is truly spectacular. Now for the birding: we are rank... More
