Perhaps this is an inkling of what Macas' future could hold: a serene retreat for travelers tucked away from the city mayhem. Four balconied rooms look out on a huge fruit-tree-dotted garden that falls away toward the Río Upano. The English-speaking owners rustle up a scrumptious breakfast with superlocal ingredients (ie from their garden or a nearby house).
It's mostly birders stopping by, as the owners also run great birding tours. It's 1km from the junction of Juan de la Cruz and Av la Ciudad. You need to book in advance. During your stay, owners may show you their reforestation project on the Río Upano.
