Casa Aliso was absolutely perfect for our Quito stay. As a family of three we really appreciated the spacious room and homey feel, while the attentive staff and elegant surroundings were luxurious.

When Quilotoa exploded, it sent ash and debris into the air that scattered over 12 kilometers to nearby towns. Apparently, the force of its eruption, and exlosion was equivalent to 10 atom bombs.
