Description
I am a guide for adventure tours and I have a small Hostel in my town La Esperanza de Ibarra. We also have a family heritage of leather crafts and the idea is to continue improving and finding new markets for our products and new customers for our Hostel. We work as a family and always try to assist to all the fairs that promote both tourism and craft-art and we also want to see if we can get help and support in that area. Our hostel is small with 14 beds so it is a real family experience. We have a relaxed attitude and its a place to chill out after a hike in the nearby countryside. We have a huge open fireplace that is the centre of our hostel and you can usually find people hanging out there playing games or telling stories.
We have daily activities and weekly communal dinners.
Soy una guía de turismo de aventura en Ecuador de montaña,rockclimbing,cañoning y amo los deportes tengo un pequeño Hostel en la provincia de Imbabura mi pueblo es La Esperanza en las afueras de la ciudad de Ibarra.
También somos artesanos del cuero y la idea es vender en paginas online y encontrar nuevos mercados para nuestros productos y nuevos clientes para nuestro albergue. Trabajamos como una familia y siempre tratamos de acudir a todas las ferias que promueven el turismo y el arte y también queremos ver si podemos obtener ayuda y apoyo en esa área. Nuestro albergue es pequeño con 16 camas por lo que es una experiencia familiar real. Tenemos una actitud relajada y es un lugar para relajarse después de una caminata en las cascadas un lugar cercano. Tenemos chimenea grande para las tardes en este lugar son las reuniones de nuestros huespedes aqui se comparte experiencias vividas en las excursiones o se hacen planes para nuevas aventuras con buena musica y un cafe,tea,cerveza o una bebida tradicional tipica de Los Andes de Ecuador.
La permacultura tenemos un espacio para permacultura ya que buscamos comer alimentos saludables para la familia y nuestros huespedes queremos construir un temascal en el Hostel porque estamos conectados con la Pacha Mama y tenemos conciencia ecologica les damos la bienvenida.
