Ecuador's Eco-Friendly 'Outcast': The Black Sheep Inn
It's got a cute name, which helps a lot. On top of that, it's got high environmental principles and is located in the Ecuadorian Andes. Perhaps that's reason enough to check in to the Black Sheep Inn near the village of Chugchilán in Ecuador. It's just had a renovation so that more of its 9 rooms have private bathrooms, but the eco-Ecuadorian character is still there.
What's green about the Black Sheep? The food is a good start--room rates include a gourmet vegetarian dinner and an organic farm breakfast. They also have recycling systems in place that, they say, result in zero waste--one of the owners was even elected to be the "King of Garbage" for the village. And if you're still not convinced, they have a long ecological statement to help out.
The Black Sheep caters for backpackers in bunks from $25 per night, moving up to double rooms with private bathrooms for $50 a night per person, always including dinner and breakfast. Plus you get use of the yoga room, wood-fired sauna, weightlifting area and even a water slide into the pond!
