We truly enjoyed our entire visit to San Jorge. Each of the three San Jorge lodges we visited, Quito, Tandayapa , Milpe were uniquely different, but all quite comfortable.
The staff and service were exceptional and made us feel more like we were visiting with friends.
The birding tours with Jorge, the owner, more than met any expectations I had before coming . To have the benefit of his expertise for us the two of us was a real treat, not to mention the 288 species he helped us to see in 3 days and a half.
Food is absolutely exceptional, quiet comfortable and enjoyable lodging. I was quite impressed with the care and attention to details paid to ensuring that we had a wonderful visit.
