In her review, The Best Buzz of 2008, travel journalist Ondine Cohane comments, "Ecudaor blew me away with its natural beauty and crazy topography, its friendly people and bang-for-the-buck prices. I especially loved Hacienda Zuleta, a couple of hours outside Quito. This family-run farm and historic hotel sits in a bucolic location--you can explore the countryside by horseback."

"To really escape the rat race, visit Kapawi Ecolodge & Reserve on the edge of the rain forest in Ecuador. How isolated? The only way in is by plane. How green? The indigenous Achuar people totally own and operate the sustainable lodge, which has spared the forest from pillaging." [DailyCandy] Elle also picked it as an eco destination.
