Who are the Hostal Maytenus Galápagos?

We have dedicated most of our lives to the conservation of the archipelago in institutions such as the Galapagos National Park and the Charles Darwin Research Station. We offer accommodation to families who want to discover the incredible world of the Galapagos. We are delighted to share with our guests all our knowledge and experiences. You can see more of our hostel here or directly in Airbnb.

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.
