There are fireplaces in all of the rooms and suites. Staff come by after dark to light a welcome fire and warm the chilly Andean evening. Guest facilities at La Mirage include a tennis court and the elegant Mirage Spa Center - complete with solar heated indoor pool, steam bath, Jacuzzi, and individual treatment and therapy rooms with fireplaces. Extensive grounds invite long strolls and serious flower sniffing. Bird feeders placed around the gardens give guests the opportunity to watch for about 8 different species of hummingbirds.
Horseback riding is available, as well as mountain bikes.
The surroundings are easily accessible for hiking and trekking. La Mirage's restaurant has an exceptionally fine reputation - not only in Ecuador, but beyond. Ecuadorian specialties and international gourmet cuisine are superbly prepared and served in quiet elegance by local servers, who wear their traditional colorful embroidered blouses, long blue skirts and beaded gold necklaces - the original dress of the Otavalo Indians. In the morning, they also serve in the hotel's Glass Breakfast Pavilions on the lawn - one of the loveliest experiences imaginable. La Mirage is a true gem - an outstanding resort that conveys a unique sense of timeless peace and comfort.
