"La Casa del Suizo" translated is the Swiss man's house. In 1985 a Swiss expatriate Beny Ammeter decided to open a general store at Ahuano, a small Quichua Indian village. In those days, when foreign travelers found their way to Ahuano and needed a place to stay, they were inevitably directed to "La Casa del Suizo"
Happy to receive visitors from afar, Beny warmly welcomed them into his home. Within a short time, his residence became so popular that he decided to construct several cabins to better accommodate the steady flow of travelers. This was the beginning of La Casa del Suizo, which today offers first class accommodations.
