Pato was really friendly and made us feel very welcome. He had a lot of knowledge to share. The Guango preserve was beautiful and the Papallacta hot springs was a great way to relax after a fun hike. It was fairly close to Quito, where we were staying, so it wasn’t too much time in the car for the kids.
