You want to see coffee plantations, subtropical climate, and ruins from the earlier times? Sumak Pakari has it all and even more. Behind the big gate awaits you a pool, restaurant and private rooms with many necessities.

Sumak Pakari offers first-class treatment with a neat ambient all around it. A football and a volleyball field are located just as you walk through a lush field of flowers you might not have seen before. The landscaping has a comforting atmosphere including palm trees, a small succulent garden, and other subtropical flowers.

The private suits include a jacuzzi, flatscreens, and internet. Right behind the hotel, a trailhead starts that will give you the first peaks of the subtropical nature. For a longer walk, you can walk through the coffee plantations to las Toalas from the main road. Additionally, Tulip is a site of the ruins of the Yumbo peoples. This tribe came to the Sacred Valley of Tulipe around 800 BCE leaving behind an interesting collection of archaeological remains. If that is not yet enough to disconnect from the busy streets in Quito, maybe you want to grab one of the bikes provided by Sumak Pakari and go for a bike ride.

As you come back from your hike, you can take a quick jump in a nice clean pool back at the hotel, after that just dry off and get ready for the local specialties offered in the restaurant.

Lastly, Tulipe offers everything you need, with a few restaurants, a shop and bus service it can even be reached by public transport. Already the drive by itself makes this visit unforgettable.

Relaxing!

Welcoming feeling, good room and beautiful premises with a paradise garden, also with orchids. Monday, Tuesday are  resting days, although they did receive us and another family. But the kitchen was a bit limited. Worst of all, the La Tulipe archeological site was closed on these days. Even in high season. It seems that since the government took over the administration, it is hard to get things done.

Lovely surroundings, bad timing

On a whim, I left Quito via bus and arrived in Tulipe in the late afternoon.  I had seen the Hosteria at the end of the road a year earlier and looked forward to staying there for a few nights while studying the Tulipe site and petroglyphs.  I walked to the end of the road, crossed the bridge and came to a closed gate to the parking area/entrance.  I rang the bell and no one answered.  After about ten minutes, I asked a neighbor, and she said that they were closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Luckily I found lodging at the other end of town, as there were no more buses leaving Tulipe until the next day!

I'm sure it's a lovely place, and it's my loss that it was closed.

Struck Out - Closed on Mondays

We chose to stay at this hotel over Christmas as a nice treat to ourselves over the holiday. We figured that we could get massages and enjoy the relaxation and see the town and museums.

Unfortunately, in a booking mix up our travel agency (booked it on points using Amex) booked the room on dates that the hotel was scheduled to be closed. 

The hotel accepted our reservation anyway and didn't tell us that the place was going to be completely desolate. We figured that out on our first day there... I think one staff member was kept on site specifically for us,, so no massages and barely any food for us during our 3 day stay.. Even everything in town was closed. Bummer. 

But, I don't want it to sound like it was a terrible experience. The grounds were very beautiful and it was a (forced) extra relaxing stay. The hotel staff person, when present, was very friendly.

Our final thoughts on this place:

1. Careful booking in Christmas. Call and confirm that the hotel will be open with staff and other guests.
2. Grounds are beautiful and very relaxing.
3. Town is safe and also quite beautiful. Go for a hike while you are there.
4. We felt it a bit pricey, but also maybe we are bitter that we used so many points for what was essentially a closed hotel. If everything would have been open, then the price would have been worth it - I think.


Place was nice, but our timing was bad.

Hosteria Sumak Pakari is literally next door to the best YUMBO archaeological site in South America. There are also great hikes to see YUMBO petroglyphs beside beautiful river pools. You can easily spend a week trekking around the area based at Sumak Pakari with it's lovely swimming pool and peaceful & lovely gardens. If you don't speak Spanish I suggest you get Stefan (shoffmann@hosteriasumakpakari.com) to organise some trips in advance. The Cloud Forest is stunning and reputedly has more tree species than the Rain Forest at the lower altitudes in the Ecuadorian Orient, lots of birds & butterflys as well.
