We loved San Jorge, from the moment we were collected from Quito in the evening, it was a wonderful experience. Cheryl was a super resource prior to our arrival. Having never travelled in Ecuador, we had plenty of pre-arrival questions and she patiently answered them all. She also arranged for a driver for us from the Quito airport to the lodge. ...

A Very Memorable Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
We found you listed in the Frommers Travel Guide. Downtown Quito was very interesting. We loved San Jorge de Milpe Orchid & Bird Reserve, and our guide Milton, who also took us to Mindo Butterflies which was a real treat. And the Equator museum! Horseback riding with Paula and Vicente was fun. Papallacta Hot Springs with Myra was ...

Excellent for Tour Groups
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
We have arrived tired but happy back home in North Carolina. We want to take this opportunity to tell you how very, very much we enjoyed our return visit to the country and especially our wonderful stays at San Jorge/Quito, San Jorge de Tandayapa and San Jorge/Milpe this summer. The magnificent reserves, and the fantastic new lodge at Milpe, are ...

San Jorge is a great way to Experience Ecuador
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
My friend and I spent days on end, in December 2007, with George as our guide, and were continually amazed by his knowledge, enthusiasm and uncanny ability to see birds even when they were hidden in dense foliage. And if we didn't see the birds he would call them to us. George is what I would call, not just avid, but an obsessive bird watcher ...

San Jorge Exceeded our Expectations
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
The fifteen days ( Oct. 17 - Oct. 31, 2007) were really filled with "magic" as we noted 325 species in that time. Our guides were excellent. Young Jorge and the senior Jorge were exceptional guides for the two of us who are partially deaf. Patience, persistence and a wonderful knowledge of habitat and behavior shared by our guides ...

Personal and Customized Experience at San Jorge
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
This is likely just another in a long series of highly complimentary guest comments. I have traveled extensively throughout the world and have never experienced the customized and personal treatment given to me while at San Jorge. Once I exited customs, I did not have to worry about anything until I was on my flight home. The Hosteria was ...

San Jorge is phenominal
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
I visited San Jorge with a group through Holbrook travel. Our group visited San Jorge de Tandayapa Hummingbird Reserve to do the trail maintenance and to hike. This property sits on a hill in the cloud forest and is quite breathtaking. We stayed at San Jorge de Milpe Orchid and Bird lodge for one night. Another outstanding lodge ...

We visited all western San Jorge Reserves and lodges. Quito, Tandayapa and Milpe. Wonderful cultural emphasis. Great collaborations ( bricks, school house, horse rentals) The trip was active and I took many notes - to which I will follow up on or visit for years to come. Dr George Cruz is impassioned with the nation and successfully ...

Magical Hosteria
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/01/08
My stay at Hosteria San Jorge was full of adventures. There was never a moment when I did not know what to do. On the Hiking and Birding Circuit offered by the hosteria, I saw many things. I visited the San Jorge lodge in the Rainforests of Mindo and did some of the best birding of my life here. I also visited the San Jorge lodge in the Tandayapa ...

Beautiful Ecuador
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/30/08
I loved my stay at the San Jorge Eco Lodge. The rooms are beautiful, although slightly rustic in a good way. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was plentiful and well prepared. Most importantly, I received a tremendous amount of personal attention from the owner in order to make sure that my stay was enjoyable. I would recommend this eco lodge without hesitation.
