About the host
Hosted by Ruth Mariela Morales Bippen

We share adventures, nature, art and the best of two different worlds: United States and Ecuador!
Our goal is offering to our guests, the artistic spirit and natural exotic joy of the house.
At the moment we are semi retired with 3 grandchildren and family living near us, enjoying this great time of our life!

Why they chose this property
Like part of a short story , AGUACLARA hides in the hills of Ballenita town.
This unique 3 story house was exclusively designed by an Ecuadorian artist.
The architecture of AGUACLARA is like that of a ship: each bedroom a different cabin giving you the feeling you are navigating through beautiful open spaces around each corner.
AGUACLARA provides peace and serenity with its magnificent view of the sea. Wake to the music of tropical birds singing in the morning. At sunset enjoy the squawking parakeets saying good bye to another day.
AGUACLARA is an unforgettable magical place!
