"The Luna Runtun offers sweeping views of town below, the Tungurahua volcano behjind, and the Llanganates mountain range beyond. ... It's the details that make you feel so comfortable here - a welcome note signed by the manager, flowers on your pillow, a ceramic pitcher of water instead of a plastic bottle, and, our personal favorite, thick warm comforters for teh cool mountain nights. In addition, you'll get some of the best views around from the hammock on your porch. The Runtun takes pride in its ability to focus on ecology without sacrificing comfort, The lettuce you eat for dinner is grown organically outside your room, all trash is recycled, and you'll see very little plastic being used on the grounds."
