What is maytenus?

Maytenus Octogona, better known as Arrayancillo, is a small tree that grows in arid climatic zones.

It has a dark brown bark and long dangling branches. Its rounded sheets with a leather texture are placed vertically to minimize sun exposure. When ripe, its round fruits open to release 3 bright red fleshy seeds.

The hosts of this apartment hostel are very friendly. They do not mess with the schedules and are attentive. The price-quality ratio is also good, especially if it is canceled among several. Nor is it very central to Ayora, but being a very small city, the truth is that it is not decisive. Another point in favor is that it is not loud.

“Maytenus es un lugar muy agradable dónde pasar unos días en Santa Cruz. La casa está muy limpia a la llegada pero además se hacen cargo todos los días de hacer las camas recoger y limpiar. Los dueños son personas muy amables y generosas. Recomiendo absolutamente este lugar.”
