Papo was a wonderful host who I would highly recommend for any future homestays. This was our first experience doing a homestay, so we weren't quite sure what to expect. However, Papo was warm and open and immediately welcomed us into his home. While he himself did not speak very much English, his niece was on hand to help with any needed translation and the rest we were able to make out using a mix of English, Spanish and a healthy dose of hand gestures. When we arrived from a very long and hot trip from Havana, Papo immediately jumped into action to help get my daughter rehydrated and make sure we were well taken care of. He arranged the most excellent horse back excursion with a local "cowboy" And his wife prepared us some lovely home cooked meals. It was a pleasure staying with Papo and his family.

While Consuelo was not actually in her place during our visit, her sister Lady took very good are of us in her place. She was a gracious hostess, providing delicious breakfasts, information on local resources and a little laundry detergent in a pinch. The outside terraces were lovely, filled with succulents and beautiful views of the city. Wonderful experience.
